abstract

The locality of bulk physics at distances below the AdS length is one of the remarkable aspects of AdS/CFT duality, and one of the least tested. It requires that the AdS radius be large compared to the Planck length and the string length. In the CFT this implies a large-N expansion and a gap in the spectum of anomalous dimensions. We conjecture that the implication also runs in the other direction, so that any CFT with a planar expansion and a large gap has a local bulk dual. For an abstract CFT we formulate the consistency conditions, most notably crossing symmetry, and show that the conjecture is true in a broad range of CFT's, to first nontrivial order in 1/N^2: any CFT with a gap and a planar expansion is generated via the AdS/CFT dictionary from a local bulk interaction. We establish this result by a counting argument on each side, and also investigate various properties of some explicit solutions.

The 2-Dimensional Dual of $\phi^4$ in AdS$_3$

hep-th · 2026-02-05 · unverdicted · novelty 7.0

The one-loop diagram in conformally coupled φ⁴ theory in AdS₃ is expressed as an infinite sum of tree-level diagrams, summed via number-theoretic conjectures to give analytic anomalous dimensions for all dual double-trace operators, with new results in t- and u-channels.

A Holographic Constraint on Scale Separation

hep-th · 2025-12-11 · conditional · novelty 7.0

A holographic consistency condition derived from large-N factorization requires vanishing cubic couplings for extremal-dimension operators and is non-trivially satisfied in DGKT AdS4 string vacua.

Local CFTs extremise $F$

A formula maps QFT response functions under periodic sources to Einstein ring images of dual AdS black holes, with the ring radius set by the QFT total energy for Schwarzschild-AdS4.

Yang-Mills Flux Tube in AdS II: Effective String Theory

hep-th · 2026-02-18 · unverdicted · novelty 5.0

Two-loop effective string theory observables for Yang-Mills flux tubes in large-radius AdS are computed via transcendentality ansatz bootstrap, with Padé resummation used to probe interpolation toward small-radius weak-coupling AdS.

Response of interferometers to the vacuum of quantum gravity

Standard low-energy quantum gravity via effective graviton QFT predicts interferometer length variations of order the Planck length (~10^{-35} m), with no divergences indicating breakdown.
